The Great Edinburgh Basing challenge

Things have settled slightly in Edinburgh and I have been able to spend some time basing up the figures I had painted over the last few weeks. We also managed a planned weekend away in London more of that later. Onto the figures in no particular order ………at the recent York wargame show I picked up a bunch of Fallschirmjager these have nearly all now been painted.

First up a machine gun team

Support weapon teams with Panzerschrek

Two snipers and two flamethrower teams.

Radio operators

Riflemen and sub machine guns

A couple of British AWI infantry casualties

A random collection of ‘Ancient’ command figures

Tallarn command figure

A group of dismounted British dragoons for AWI

Dark age ‘war hound’ units

Yet another ‘Celtic’ warband

French Curassiers I have a second unit to do now

French artillery limbers, I have based these in two parts for flexibility

When space is tight on the battlefield they can be used as two horse limbers

I have also completed some British limbers

In the same mode where they can be split down if needed

So far three limbers for each side I do have some more for a later date.

We have just returned from a weekend trip to London, amongst other things we visited the British Museum where there is currently one of their ‘special’ exhibitions this one on life in the Roman Legions

Loads to see with a couple of highlights

The most complete Roman armour in the world ? recovered from the Teutoberg Forest we wonder what fate the owner suffered

Apparently the best/ most complete Scutum preserved due to its location in Syria

We also went to the V&A museum 

And one final treat we attended the third instalment of the LOTR live concert at the Albert Hall

Sorry for not posting so much recently, the ebb and flow of life, but we played a game today which I will post up in the next few days as well 

Thanks as always for checking by
